After the glitzy
wedding, their honeymoon started with a weekend stay in Diani followed by a 15

She opted for a traditional
long veil that was about four metres long. However, it was too long and heavy
that she only wore it for the ceremony. She had expensive Swarovski crystals
applied at the bottom of her gown and veil, so it glittered as she walked down
